Submitting a support file using the Avast Support Tool

The Avast Support Tool is a diagnostic tool that checks your Avast Antivirus software for common issues and offers troubleshooting solutions. Additionally, it automatically gathers files to send to Avast as a reference for Avast Support representatives and engineers.

Avast Support does not automatically check for newly submitted support files. Before sending a support file via the Avast Support Tool, notify Avast Support from the support portal.
